i really have to get off the computer and hit the gym
I bench around a 100, curls around 30 ,never done clean or squats. My mile is probably around 7, 8 min.
just wondering, how often do you guys bench (how many reps, how many sets a day, etc) ?
Because often i have a hard time choosing a weight so that i get tired after 10 reps. For me, it's either do 10 reps and that's it, or a few sets of 5 or 6 reps
set of 10 - 155
set of 8 - 165
set of 6 - 185
set of 4 - 205
set of 3 - 225
set of 2 - 235
usually i start to not get the whole workout at the set of 3, i prob will get one then on the set of 2 ill prob get 1 or so -.-
i work upwards, not downwards on weight lol

Bench: 220 lbs (max)
Squat: Dunno
Clean: Dunno
Curl: I usually just curl 90lbs in a workout, not sure what my max is.
40 time. 4.4
mile time. 5:35
and what sports u play/played. Hockey and I used to run cross country, but now I started weight lifting and gained 20 pounds, so I can only run a 5:35 now, which is about 35 seconds slower than what I could run when in shape for running. I can still sprint really well though.

gahhhh, bad idea to be doing that. you should be aiming to increase the weights and keep the number of reps the same as you go, it's much better than increasing weights more and decreasing sets.Des.Kmal wrote:

keep reps in the 5-8 range, and the weight the same, or have slow increases in same day.
its definately worked... lolBlackKoala wrote:

yes and im very lazy so gtfoDes.Kmal wrote:

i tried the vartied routine, and my gains were nothing near what they are when doing a constant set/rep combination. It's better to lift more weight for a shorter amount of reps, than a lesser weight for more reps. anything more than 7-8 reps is doing very little (read: next to nothing) for any kind of gains.Des.Kmal wrote:

why though
then again, my protein intake is probably a shitload more than yours so my body reacts differently to the lifting.
thats weird lol. cuz im the EXACT opposite. i did a smaller amount of reps and more weights 2 years ago and NO increase, but with this, i can get up to 5 lbs a week or so.

Well then try and keep your reps in the 7-8 range, but less sets with more weight. THAT will be better than more sets.Des.Kmal wrote:

Yeah, 7-8 reps at the highest you can is how you gain muscle strength.BlackKoala wrote:

More reps with a lower weight will build tone
tone is just a low bf% body with muscle.bennisboy wrote:

nope tone improves muscle endurance. Hence many reps at a lower weightBlackKoala wrote:

Lol, well it may not be called "toned" but it boils down to the same thing, it improves mucle endurance, so I think you proved yourself wrong. Many repititions will remove fat but also improve cardiovascular endurance. I should know, I used to train multiple times each week for 400m runningBlackKoala wrote:

wtf is a 40
i went to quote the other post, didnt see you posted again. but yeah, endurance is an entirely different thing than toning. i thought you were one of the weird fucks that thought lifting the cute pink dumbbells for 100 reps was beneficial...lolbennisboy wrote:
